    Hey guys,

    Wondering if you guys would be able to clear up something for me. I own a couple of news publications ranging from pr 1 to 5. And unless we turn the comments into facebook only, we get hundreds of phony comments that have a strange "i like this article so much" written paragraph as a comment, and their username is normally a link to strange url (that normally isn't event a working website).

    Can anybody explain what the deal with these is? I personally have never done Bhat seo or ever plan to, so i'm not familiar with these bot posted links. But what's the point of linking to a worthless/nonsense URL that isn't even a website?

    I guess the ones using the tools are not so bright, and they are surely not the same people as the ones who wrote the spamming tools in the first place.
